Re: -sorry for this- buying an iWaver…

I’ve had an iWaver 01 for a couple of months now, along with a dozen other people at work.

They are great fun, but mine handles like dogs balls – it spins on it’s own when it picks up a little speed, so I race in reverse 🙂 Unfortunately running into things backwards does more damage than forwards.

The other people with 01s have pretty good handling.
I’ve picked up a second hand 01 cheaply and it has the good handling that I’ve been envious of, so I’m using my original one as spares now.

With the stock motor and gearing and a set of 900mAh AAAs, I’m sure I got 1 hour run time (4×15 minute session) but much of that was chasing the cat in our small loungeroom. 🙂 ie: mostly low speed.
Now with a iWaver x-speed +Plus motor, it’s about 15 to 20 minutes before steering stops working due to low batteries, but the motor is drawing more amps and still goes fast, straight into the first wall!

One guy has an iWaver 02 and it seems to be quick, handle well and is a lighter car. We’ve got 20 iWavers coming in as a group buy in a week or 2 as most of us are upgrading. 🙂 They are good fun, especially in the office.
